OUR STORY
What started as a single dormitory idea in rural Zimbabwe became a 100% volunteer, 100% charitable commitment organisation focused on access to education — not just buildings.
FROM MOMENT TO MOVEMENT
In 2017, during a cultural exchange, Joaquin visited Nechishala Secondary School and saw students travelling up to 20 km to reach class — then sleeping in those very classrooms, cooking outside on fires, and bathing in the nearby river. All for a chance at an education.
The idea of a dormitory was born as a simple, practical answer to a complex problem.
An initial dormitory project began with World Vision Zimbabwe — then COVID arrived. Construction paused. The promise stayed, quietly, in the background.
Years passed. The idea waited in inboxes, notes, and conversations that felt unfinished.
Travelling alone in 2023, the idea resurfaced. An old email was found. A message was sent. The conversation with Nechishala restarted — this time with a clearer vision.
What began as “one dormitory” evolved into Lovemore: a 100% volunteer, international charity focused on removing barriers to education through critical infrastructure.
TODAY
Lovemore is designed to stay small, transparent, and close to the communities we work with — real people with real impact.
We work with local communities, schools, and partners — not around them. Every project is co-developed with the community.
From materials to maintenance, our projects are designed to be safe, practical, and locally operable — continuing impact even after we're gone.
Every bed, shower, toilet, washing station, water or power-line. Every path to school and into a brighter future is a collaboration between volunteers, donors, and communities who all believe education is a fundamental human right. and should be treated as such.
Donate
Every donation goes directly to the project. Help us reach the next milestone.
We are currently working to plan the next project for Nechishala. Once funds have been raised, we will be able to define a clear budget for costs and resources and share the new fundraising goal.
